Tang said remotely: "No, anyone who faces their sweetheart will have some right and wrong, so it's no wonder you." Are you very concerned about everything related to the Seven Evil Saints?" Cheng Jiaxuan sneered at each other and said, "Whenever it comes to Concubine Yun's affairs, don't you also rush to the forefront?"

Tang Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Yes, we are all like this, we can easily understand others, like a master of the Tao, and preach to him eloquently." But when it was his turn, not only could he not understand, but he could not even listen to the kind persuasion of others. If you are already like this, how can you expect outsiders to be guided by you and come to your enlightenment?"

Cheng Jiaxuan's lips pursed into a line, and he lifted it again and again, but finally fell on Tang Yuan's back, and said softly: "So, we are the same kind of people." Maybe we've all fallen in love with a ...... People who don't deserve to pay so much still don't regret it. So, let's two bitter lovers, why don't we have a drink together and exchange our experience of falling out of love?"

Tang Yuan almost squirted out a sip of wine, and subconsciously said: "Wine can hurt your body, you are a girl, it's better not to drink more." ”

Cheng Jiaxuan said disdainfully: "Why? Aren't you also drinking with relish? Hmph, you have the ability to fight with me, look at your weak appearance, who wins and who loses, but it is not necessarily!"

Tang Yuan's own feelings were already a mess, and it would be even more annoying to stir up this rather crazy girl again. But he was helpless with her, and said, "You little fool...... Anyway, when I came to my young master's mansion in the evening, I happened to have some good wine and entertainment. But let's make it clear in advance, in case you can't get up from drinking, no one will send you back to the palace. ”

On the evening of the same day, Cheng Jiaxuan came to Tang Yuan's house as promised. The four walls are extremely simple, and there is a tendency of "everything else". Thinking that Tang Yuanyuan is the young master of the crown prince, and the treatment in the mansion is like this, I am afraid that because he is a Han, I can't help but be indignant on his behalf.

When I looked around, I saw several large jars of wine on the table, which were worth a lot of money from the material of the wine jar alone. A jar has been opened and sealed with mud, and there is a large bowl in front of Tang Yuan, the bowl is clear and bright, and you can smell a mellow fragrance from a distance, and it seems that the wine quality is also excellent.

Cheng Jiaxuan hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "Why did you drink it first? Don't say wait for me!" Tang said remotely: "I didn't say that I was looking for you to fight for wine today, when will it start, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Cheng Jiaxuan knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't care about him, picked up the wine jar, took a wine bowl, and poured a full bowl for himself. Looking at the slightly swaying whirlpool in the bowl, he was already drunk, and said with a smile: "Hmm, Young Master Tang, you are really blessed." Hiding at home, you have such a good wine to drink every day! But to say that the imperial court is really small, knowing that you have contributed a lot to the society, you only give you such a small mansion, and you can't even find some commonly used things. ”

This Dao will definitely cause Tang Yuan to vomit bitterness, who expected him to just shake his head, and said: "I can't blame the court, the emperor treats me very well, this mansion is not what you see, just because I am frugal by nature, and many luxurious things are placed in front of me, which is really dazzling, but it is not really useful." There were things that were idle, so I added to the blockage in my heart, so I simply sold those things to make room for it, but it was a lot more spacious. That's because I don't appreciate the kindness of others, it's not that others treat me harshly, after you return to the palace, don't talk nonsense. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan said lightly: "People are fighting for you, and you still want to be fierce to me!" raised the wine bowl and put it on the side of his mouth, drank two sips, and felt a spicy breath in his throat.

Before he could speak, two tears dripped into the wine bowl first, waving two layers of light ripples, and refracting a layer of light. Biting his lip, he didn't want Tang Yuan to see that he was embarrassed, and forced a smile: "The ancients said that 'one drunk relieves a thousand sorrows', but some people say 'borrowing wine to pour sorrow into sorrow', I don't know which one you agree with?"

Tang said remotely: "Naturally, it's the latter. The so-called drunkenness relieves a thousand sorrows, but it is an irresponsible statement. When you get drunk, your brain is groggy, and you can no longer ponder or think, and naturally there is no source of trouble. But don't you think that this is a kind of passive style of escapism? Drunkenness does not solve the root cause of his troubles, nor does it solve the essence of his troubles, but it only temporarily hides those troubles and prevents him from facing them. When he woke up again, thinking of the heavy backlog of worries and the time he had wasted, it was really hard to know how to deal with himself. Instead of drinking to drown your sorrows, it is better to go all out and simply eliminate the crux of the problem, that is. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan said: "You said it simply, what if the root of your troubles is in the hands of others? No matter how hard you try, it is impossible to uproot ......."

Tang Yuan said: "There are always things in life that you don't want to do, but you have to do, and they are all the same. Growing up, all I did was read books that I repeated day and night. At that time, my grandmother said that wine can hurt the mind and depress people's thinking, so you should never touch alcohol when you are studying. In the streets and alleys, there are many people who love wine, and even do not hesitate to sell their wives and children, just want to exchange a few pieces of broken silver for a few taels of wine to drink. Although I didn't get to that point, I was very curious about wine. The more my grandmother wouldn't let me drink it, the more I wanted to taste it. So while she wasn't paying attention, I quietly hid a small gourd of soju, and waited until the dead of night to take a few sips. The first time I almost vomited my intestines, I thought that anyone who loves wine is either crazy or stupid, so what's so good about this kind of thing? But after this time, I suddenly missed the taste, and when I drank for the second time, I felt like I had met an old friend who had been reunited for a long time. So from then on, I had to have a pot of wine at hand, and whenever I got tired of reading, I would take a few sips to refresh myself. If you drink too much, your brain will be foggy, but if you only drink one or two sips every night, it can instantly stimulate your wakefulness...... Otherwise, how can you and I survive those ten years of hard study? There are not many students in the world who do not love to read for fame and fortune, but only love to read. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan rarely heard him mention old things, and he listened to it with relish. Then he asked, "What about you? Are you also greedy for fame and fortune? I always feel that you are pure and arrogant, and you should not be in the same stream as the worldly people." ”

Tang Yuan choked on a sip of wine and coughed twice before saying, "You lifted me." The words 'pure and proud of the world' are the highest praise and cannot be used casually. No matter how proud and conceited you once were, you have to bow your head in the face of reality. I used to think that I could make myself and my friends live a happy life with my own efforts, and I used to make unremitting efforts for this goal, but now it seems that dreams are just dreams after all. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan leaned forward and said, "How can that be? At least having a dream to do is better than having no dream at all! Since that is the path you have identified, why don't you keep going?"

Tang Yuanyuan said: "How easy is it? It's like I don't like power, but I can't get tired of it." It is only because there is no good or bad power itself, and because of the different personalities of those in power, that the world will be very different. The ignorant do not know what to do, so they put all the blame on the power. But I was born with a weak temperament, and I couldn't hold on to all the great tasks in the world. It's all for grandma...... I will choose to enter the court as an official and do a job that can provide her with food and clothing, and can also give us the Tang family's glory and ancestors. My father was also a candidate, but he failed many times, but because the environment was too harsh, the climate aggravated the torture of people, and he suffered from a disease at a young age, and finally passed away early. Sometimes I stand in the courtyard in my official robe, looking up at the sky, and I often wonder if my father would be relieved to see that his son is now getting ahead but not happy at all, or will he sigh for me? There are too few memories of my father...... You know, I used to be a young man with great ambitions, and I thought that since I had to do it, I must do my best, and use the power in my hands to benefit the people. But in the final analysis, there is only one ruler in the world, and I am only the executor of his orders. Even if he appreciates it, he can sometimes put forward a few suggestions, but he can't make any fundamental changes to improve people's livelihood. At the same time, there are always some people in the palace who are ambitious, and they are bent on seizing power, starting wars, and losing money and money...... It is better to do more practical things for the people. He can be loved by thousands of people all over the world, offering a wreath of glory as he walks by, calling his name in a loud voice under the blue sky, and making it their only unchanging faith. The person who really wins the hearts and minds of the people is the one who is truly expected by the people. It's a pity that they don't understand, they only think about their own interests, and they will never understand! I'm tired of the darkness of officialdom, and if it weren't for my grandmother, I wouldn't have spent even one more day in the palace!"

In the meantime, the two talked about some unrelated topics. It is said that the wine table is the best place to talk, just because wine can completely open the conversation, no matter how taciturn people are, once they arrive at the wine table, a few glasses of hot soju will immediately become bold.

After talking too many and a few unclear words, Tang Yuan suddenly put the wine jug on the table, and his consciousness was also half clear and half dim, and said: "Xiao Xuan, let me say a few words, you ...... Cough...... Don't mind. You only know how to love him blindly, but you never think about whether you love the wrong person. Or, this relationship is a little real, and whether it is worth your desperate protection. ”

As if insulted, Cheng Jiaxuan exclaimed: "What are you talking about? How can my love for him not be sincere? Although he has never loved me, and I have never really received him, ...... But I have only him in my heart, and I can even die for him......!

Tang Yuan waved his hand and said, "You calm down, Xiao Xuan, let's make an analogy." You and Xuanshuang grew up together and were inseparable, how did you feel with him?"

There was no need to think about such a question, but Cheng Jiaxuan drank too much wine, her brain was always a little groggy, and she said slowly: "Well, I used to talk to him about everything." He wouldn't hide anything from me, but I only treated him as a good friend, and even when he later told me about love, I didn't have any other thoughts...... Perhaps, it does not exist. Tang said remotely: "Okay, that's it." Now that he has returned to the palace, how do you feel when you see him as a Blood Demon Young Master?"

Cheng Jiaxuan followed his train of thought and said: "I just think that he has changed a lot, he has become impersonal, he has become much colder, and he is also a little similar to 'him'...... I can't remember how the Xuanshuang who used to play marbles with me could be the same person as the Ling Frost Ember. But...... Again, it seems...... It is indeed different, I want to take the initiative to approach him, to say a few words to him, I hope that he will be cold to others, but gentle and considerate to me...... I've never felt these things about Xuanshuang. Maybe it's because I know that no matter how much I ignore him, he won't ignore me, don't want me, and I'm at ease with him. ”
